Centralised payment reconciliation dashboard for Sri Lankan businesses

Payment collection is easy to decentralise and difficult to reconcile. A card payment may settle two days later, a QR payment may arrive under a shortened reference, and a bank transfer may be confirmed in WhatsApp. Finance needs one ledger that preserves those differences without losing the invoice relationship.

The minimum reconciliation fields

Invoice or customer account reference.
Payment method and originating gateway or bank.
Gross amount, fee, net settlement, and settlement date.
Branch, department, entity, or cost centre.
Refund, chargeback, reversal, and exception status.
A matching result with an owner and next action when it does not match.

Do not reconcile only by daily totals

Daily totals hide the exceptions that matter: one customer paid twice, a refund was not posted, a gateway deducted a fee, or a transfer was assigned to the wrong branch. Match at transaction level first, then use daily totals as a control check.

Continue with centralised payment portal software, LankaQR and JustPay ERP integration, and ERP bank reconciliation.

Frequently asked questions

Why do payment gateway totals differ from invoices?

Timing, fees, refunds, partial settlements, chargebacks, duplicate references, and payments received outside the gateway can all create differences. Reconciliation needs transaction-level references, not only daily totals.

Can one portal reconcile multiple payment methods?

Yes, if it normalises references and settlement data across gateways, QR, bank transfers, and manual receipts while preserving the original source and fee details.

Who benefits from a centralised payment portal?

Groups with multiple branches, departments, subsidiaries, brands, or payment accounts benefit most because finance can see collections and exceptions in one place.
